"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

I just joined this forum for the Wealth and Success discussion.

I find myself with a lot of free time, so I thought I'd share the lessons I learned as an entrepreneur. I'm in my mid-40s and have started about a dozen businesses in the past 20 years. Some were hits, some were good, others failed. My hope is that these posts will INFORM and INSPIRE men here to "build their kingdom", as I call it.

Honestly, I don't expect much of a reaction from my posts. It wouldn't surprise me if they come and go without much notice. But I'm doing it because I KNOW A LOT and I want to see others profit from my knowledge. So I at least feel a responsibility as a altruist to make the information available to those who might benefit from it.

If you're an entrepreneur (or anyone else this kind of material may interest), please introduce yourselves below. My hope is to have some good constructive discussions where real RESULTS are produced in your lives.

So hi. I'm Dr. Whiskers. :)
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Any advice for people doing trades?
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Nope. Don't do trades. That's not how a man builds a kingdom.
It is a solid way to get capital built without barrow or partner. If you already have the mental tools and capital then its easier to follow good advice. If from the streets or fields getting capital is needed.

What is your formula for a man from nothing, and without charm and negotiation skills?

How do you measure success ?

Hi! I'm "Rabbit." Just curious. Have you read "E-myth Revisited?" If so, how valuable it the advice in it in your opinion?

Okay, that's....a disheartening answer lol.

So who gonna build your house? Your " castle" where thy the king shall live in? And do so properly??

I don't know if you're trolling or not. You basically say don't work for your money? I'll wait for your response before I say anything else.

You know, it's probably been decades. But I remember at the time of the reading, I would have recommended it, and I think I even did. Unfortunately, I don't remember the message much now. Maybe if my copy surfaces in my books, I'll give it another read.

I meant to offense by that comment. If you would read my posts in the wealth forum, you'll see I'm talking about something very specific. When I say "kingdom", I talking about building a network of people around yourself as the leader. That's my message. Check them out and tell me what you think.

It's the only upward mobility I see. Employing others to do the trade is an obvious required step. But you have to learn to do the job before you can employ someone to work for you doing that job.

That's what the E-myth Revisited pretty much suggests verbatim. It speaks of three positions and three transitions. Technician is whoever does the work, manager is who ensures things are done the same way each time, operator is the one who owns the business and ensures that it is being managed/operated as intended.

Does the book Think and Grow Rich still offer good advice? Hey you need a job and learn how to make good investments in the stock market.
